INTRODUCTION
Within the previous couple of years the demand for water has increased tremendously everywhere the planet. The
long term demand is going to be very high and therefore the water resources are becoming depleted at a faster rate.
We’d like to depend upon the saline water resources for meeting the water demand. One best choice is to use solar
power for water distillation [1]. Distillation has long been considered how of creating water drinkable and purifying
water in remote locations. In ninety seven percent of the earth’s mass lies within the oceans, of the remaining 3%, is
brackish, 0.5% as water. As a result, many of us don't get access to adequate and cheap supplies of potable water. This
results in population concentration around existing water supplies, marginal health condition and usually allow
standard of living [2]. Thus an answer for this solar distillation can benefit rising problem in developing countries in
several ways. Solar distillation device is often worthwhile by providing pure water for drinking, cooking, washing and
bathing. Solar still operating on sea water can ensure a supply of water in the drought affected region [3]. In this
experiment we used single basin solar still with evacuated tubes solar dish to convert the saline water into water.
As solar power is plentiful and may be used for converting saline

water into water. The pure water is often obtained by distillation within the simplest solar still but here we've focused
on the utilization of double layer cotton wick to extend the daily productivity of a solar still with less heat losses.
Several active approaches are implemented to extend the temperature of the basin so as to increase the productivity of
a solar still.
Water could even be renewable natural resources of earth and is extremely essential for the survival of all living
organisms. In nature, quite 97% of water sources are brackish but portable water isn't abundant [4-6]. Therefore,
controlling of water quality is one among the essential problems with beverage management. Distillation is that the
foremost generally used process for water purification. Naturally, solar energy heats water within the seas and lakes,
and then evaporation takes place. Water vapor condenses within the atmosphere and returns to earth as rain water.
Solar distillation represents one of the oldest techniques and is useful for the assembly of water from brackish or saline
water in many parts of the planet [7]. Among the many factors considered for cost and efficiency in the planning and
manufacturing of the solar water distillation system. Various sets of solar stills are developed and applied globally as
a support technology for water purification. Generally, solar still systems have the advantage of low operating and
maintenance costs and thus the shortcoming of low thermal efficiencies [8].
During this research work, we designed a solar hot-water heater (SWH) kit to replicate the natural action of
evaporation and condensation.
CONSTRUCTION & WORKING
Experimental Setup (Construction and Working)
The test arrangement situated for the scope 21.1052 °n and longitude 79.0035 °e. The examinations were done during
the time of March to April 2020. In instances of CSS (Conventional Solar Still), the high and low sided dividers
individually are 44 cm and 15 cm, with a solitary bowl with a powerful region of 0.5 m2 (0.5 m width x1 m long).
The stills were produced using 1.5 mm thick aroused boards. The entire bowl surface was covered with dark paint
from inside to expand the absorptivity. The base and side dividers of the bowl were covered dark painted 5mm thick
to gather the distillate yield was fixed to the end of the low-side of bowl. Plastic funnels were associated with the
troughs to deplete the new water (distillate). Another channel was associated with the bowl base to deplete squander.
A channel for the abundance water was fixed along the lower edge of the material. The bowl was secured with glass
sheet (1.06mX0.523m) of 3mm thick slanted at about 35° on a level plane towards the height.
Just if there should arise an occurrence of WSS (Wick Solar Stills), care was taken to remain the glass spread edge
since it is same as of CSS (Conventional Solar Still). This edge was chosen to expand the protections got by the
safeguard and limit reflection misfortunes. Then, this point was adequate for all the water drops to skim directly down
to the gathering channel and subsequently forestall water drops from fullback to the wick material or to the bowl. The
sunlight based heated water tank comprised of authority, water tank and casing. A barrel shaped water tank having 45
lit limits were utilized to take care of the bowl with heated water through protects tube. The stills were working on a
sunlight based premise with water acquainted with the principle tanks consistently. The saline water feed tank was
utilized to take care of sun based stills during day time.
Thermocouple
It comprises of two distinct conduits and shaping electrical intersections at different temperatures. As an aftereffect
of the thermo-electric impact a thermocouple delivers a temperature-subordinate voltage, and this voltage are
frequently deciphered for temperature estimation. The thermocouples are a normally utilized temperature sensor type
[1].
Rota Meter
A Rota meter is a system that investigations the stream pace of fluids in a shut funnels. It has a place in a class of
meters called variable territory meters, which assess the stream rate by requiring the cross-area district the liquid goes
through to contrast, bringing about a discernible impact [1]. The buoy increments when utilized with a fluid because
of the blend of the liquid speeds head and the fluid lightness.
Copper Coil
Copper loop is heat move gadgets for the acknowledgment of wanting warming or cooling. A basic structure
highlight of warmth exchange innovation is the choice of proper materials for quick and powerful conduction and
move of warmth. Copper has numerous appealing properties for heat exchangers which are thermally proficient and
strong. Most importantly, copper is a remarkable warmth conveyor. This implies the high warm conductivity of copper
permits warmth to go effectively through it. Numerous alluring required properties of copper in heat exchangers
020007-2
incorporate its consumption opposition, most extreme passable pressure and inside weight for bio
fouling, crawling break quality, exhaustion quality, hardness, warm development, and any more. The gathering of
these properties enables copper to be indicated for heat exchangers in a few mechanical offices, HVAC frameworks,
vehicle coolers and radiators, and some more. It is additionally incorporated into the bottoms of high-grade cookware
on the grounds that the metal behaviors heat quickly and disseminates it consistently.
Float
Liquid level buoys are notable as buoy balls which are having a diverse shape like round, barrel shaped, elliptical
and so forth and is set from either inflexible or adaptable material, that are coasting in water and different fluids too.
It is non-electrical gadget regularly utilized as graphical sight-markers for surface partition and level estimation.
Additionally, it might be incorporated into exchanging instruments or clear liquid cylinders as a component in fluid
for checking or control of the level. It is chipping away at the guideline of material lightness (differential density) to
follow the degree of liquidity. For the Solid buoys frequently made of plastics requires a thickness not exactly of
water or other use of fluid, with the goal that they skim without any problem.If there should be an occurrence of
Hollow buoys, they loaded up with air are a lot lesser thicker than of water or different fluids, and are reasonable for
certain applications [9].
Solar Water Basin
The solar water basin is made of metal close chamber. The base of the solar still is prepared from Galvanized iron
carton with the dimension of (4’ x 2’ x 10 cm). By fixing the length (L), Breath (B) and Height (H) as 65 cm,125cm,
30 cm respectively, and at opposite side = 13 cm the surface of the glass will fall in this channel under the effect of
gravity that complete the process of water purification is taking place.
Water Tank
A water tank is required to store the water in a number of applications, such as drinking water, agriculture, fire
suppression, chemical industry, food processing and many other applications. Specific materials are used to make the
tank water: products like plastics, fiber-optic, concrete and steel (sweated and bolted, polyethylene, polypropylene or
stainless carbon). Earthen pots also function as water storages. Water tanks are an important way to help clean
drinking water storage in developing countries.
Flat Plate Collectors
Level plate authorities are utilized basically for residential water and space warming frameworks purposes. It
comprises of a safeguard, a reasonable covering and a disengaged box. Ordinarily the safeguard is a high-warm layer
Metal of conductivity with incorporated or appended cylinders or conduits. Its surface is painted or covered to amplify
brilliant vitality ingestion and now and again to limit radiant outflow. The disengaged case gives insurance, safeguards
and dodges heat misfortune from the back or side of the authority. A coating that lets the safeguards travel through
the daylight, however disengages the space around the safeguard so cool air doesn't vary through this area is known
as the spreadsheets. The glass speaks to, notwithstanding, a little piece of the daylight not entering the safeguard.
FIGURE 1. FLAT PLATE SOLAR WATER COLLECTORS [SOURCE: SYEDFIROZUDDIN ET AL. 2014 [10]]
The gatherer can arrive at the temperatures up to 200°C when no fluid courses through it and hence all the materials
utilized must have the option to oppose such warmth. The material utilized for the safeguard is regularlymade of
copper, steel or aluminum materials and the lodging of the gatherer might be made of materials, for example, plastic,
metal or wood and the front of the front of the glass must be protected so as to guarantee that the
020007-3
warmth isn't overpowering. So as to limit heat misfortune, the gatherer lodging is vigorously protected on the back and
side too. In spite of the fact that there are still some gatherer heat misfortunes because of thetemperature contrast between
the safeguard and surrounding air that outcomes to convection and safeguard plate. Surface coatings that have a high
absorbance for short-frequency light is utilized on the safeguard. The paint or plating is utilized and for the most part
over 95% of the sun oriented episode is consumed by its dark surface. The second capacity of the safeguard plate is to
communicate the assimilated vitality at any rate contrast in temperature into a warmth move liquid. This is accomplished
by leading the retained warmth to into the liquid offers ascend to warm misfortunes. The level sheet of metal with tubes
spread and appended 10 cm separated comprises of fluid gatherer safeguards. The sheet of metal assimilates the greater
part of the sunlight based irradiance and goes about as a transporter to bring the consumed heat radiation misfortunes.
The loss of convection is brought about by the point of the tendency and the separation between the glass spread and the
safeguard plate while the warmth trade between the safeguard and nature causes the radiation misfortune. Three
capacities will be done by the safeguard plate which covers the whole opening region of the gatherer: ingest the greatest
measure of sunlight based irradiance accessible, move this warmth to the working water at the very least temperature
contrast and lose the base measure of indoor regulator in the earth.
Sun based irradiance going through the coating is retained straightforwardly into the liquid. The safeguard plate is made
of a high warm conductivity material in an effective framework. The cylinders are not isolated by a long shot or a much
lower temperature between them will happen.
Working
This research consists of two main things that the solar basins which are used to collect the distilled water and the other
is the portable solar water heater which is used for initializing heating of water in terms to give better result. The water
is initially flow from the flat plate collector heater, which the water in a certain manner and allow to flow that to the
solar basin collector [1].On the other hand that solar basin consists of the wick in it. Thisis nothing but the cloth made
up of linen, cotton stitched over to experience mild continues flow as per the distiller is extracted from the basin. Now
water is allowed to flow through the chamber which consists of a flat plate type solar collector. That has initially heated
water stored in the float chamber which will keep that water until the solar basin water level is not reduced. After reaching
to the solar basin, the wick absorbs the amount of water for the distillation purpose and as the water is heated steam is
formed inside solar basin the condensed steam will collected on covered glass and distilled water is collected to the
reservoir through the collector.

Comparison of Above Three Process of Desalination
In this research, we have used copper coil with vacuum chamber replacing evacuated tubes to give importanceto
renewable energy resources for sustainable development. We observed that the variation in the productivity in
desalinated water by experimenting with a conventional still method, using a single layer cotton wick, using a double
layer cotton wick. The analysis in the Figure 9 shows the water productivity is increased by 162% over conventional
still for the single layer cotton wick and the water productivity is increased by 385% over conventional still for
double layer cotton wick and even the water productivity is more by 237% double layer cotton wick over single
layer cotton wick. Hence we can conclude that when the solar basin is used with a double layer cotton wick will give
the maximum productivity of desalinated water as compared to any of the above different methods [15].

wick and the water productivity increased by 385% over solar still for double layer cotton wick & even the water
productivity more by 237% for double layer cotton wick over single layer cotton wick.
CONCLUSION
A Flat type solar water distillation (FSWD) setup was successfully fabricated and characterized under actual
environmental conditions. Though the quantity of water was small compared to daily need of potable water, the
efficiency of the distillation system can be increased by using larger absorber surfaces [16]. Any measure that can
occasionally reduce the surface temperature of the glass roof will increase condensation process. Also, using solar
concentrators to channel radiant heat to the absorber surface can increase the efficiency of the FSWD system.
Meanwhile, since the FSWD can be manufactured with modest and promptly accessible nearby materials,someone
can create a decent number of it to fulfil day by day need of consumable water [17]. Hence we can conclude that when
the solar basin is used with a double layer cotton wick will give the maximum productivity of desalinated water as
compared to any of the above different methods.
